IBI’s approach to RFID Solutions begins with the application of our engineered RFID Design and Development Process. IBI’s RFID Solutions team will convene with your corporate management team and assess your business objectives and readiness for the implementation of  RFID technology.

	1. Business Process Analysis
	Corporate meeting for IBI’s RFID BPA and RFID Solutions team. Analyze and document current corporate business process and RFID objectives. Outline and document potential benefits of RFID enterprise integration.   Illustrate how RFID enhances each customer’s corporate efficiency. Identify specific benefits of RFID and improved productivity Assist corporate management in the identification of reduced operating cost with RFID implementation. Extrapolate projected effect upon a decrease of labor costs? Complete assessment of infrastructure RFID installation costs Detailed analysis of recurring costs (maintenance, hardware, software, training and SLA contracts) associated with IBI’s RFID Solutions IBI will provide our customers with a projected Return-On-Investment (ROI) based upon current business costs and projected RFID expenditures.
	2. Business RFID Model
	Determine type of functional RFID environment for customer’s current business processes. Assess corporate infrastructure for RFID readiness. Record predicted procedures and processes for product mobility. Identify corporate inventory and products targeted for RFID tagging. Identify and document current product locations and movements. Determine and ID tag design parameters and operational environments( such as data R/W, tag memory and solid/liquid/temperature environments) Identify and locate RF interference and inhibition factors or environmental constraints. Determine optimum system architecture for RFID hardware and software   Application requirements determine type of RFID technology selection Recommend RFID Solutions from fully customized, hybrid and/or COTs packages with variable pricing options.
